Shopsmith bandsaw aluminum/ cast iron tables

Post by steverboss »

Does anyone know the approximate year that Shopsmith changed their bandsaw table from cast iron to aluminum?

From the information I have gathered it was about 1991 based on Bandsaws themselves but upgrades may have affected that date or 1992 based on printed material.

The oldest Manual I have with the Aluminum Table is June 1995. I have a Bandsaw Table Retrofit Kit Manual dated April 1992.
